The devs are looking for $670,000 CAD (or $500,000 USD) with stretch goals currently up to $840,000 CAD ($640,000 USD) and more stretch goals that backers will get to vote on.

This game looks pretty crazy. Players can drive on the walls and ceiling, your car continues going in the same direction if it gets flipped around, objects on the course can be destroyed to create obstacles, and... well, just watch the pitch video and let the prototype speak for itself.

The $26 CAD ($20 USD) tier gets you the game and the early bird bonus is sold out. Any thoughts?

UPDATE: The Kickstarter campaign has been cancelled, but the devs still want to make the game. GRIP is now available to pre-order on early access.www.cagedelement.com/grip/

I have never played Wipeout before, so I have no comparisons to make or frame of reference to judge it by. I just think GRIP looks cool on its own.

Plus, I googled the series and the last console one was made in 2008 and the latest entry was on the PS Vita in 2012. If this is similar to Wipeout and people want more, by all means throw money at it.

New update. The campaign has been cancelled because it wasn't going as planned, but it's not stopping the devs. Instead, they're going to do their own crowdfunding campaign/pre-orders through their site to support the game's early access release on Steam. They also made some shout-outs to other campaigns in their last update, which was nice of them.

Here's their plan for the game's features and priorities when it launches on early access.

Here is our feature list for the first version of GRIP on Steam early access:

Aztec: I don’t visit the Discord but I want to ask if we have any confirmation about the Ayami Kojima box art and the backer exclusive slip cover coming with my physical game day and date or is that coming also later? I realize the design is secret but when?May 24, 2019 17:34:35 GMT -6

Aztec: Also we’re supposed to get another update next Thursday, yes?May 24, 2019 17:35:04 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: The Discord has been a mad house since yesterday, with random folks giving incorrect answers to things, so I'll just tell you here: the slipcase yes, but the Kojima stuff no.May 24, 2019 17:48:12 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: It's been a while since I heard that specifically asked about and its answer so I'm not 100% sure on the slipcase, but definitely the Kojima art is in a later shipment with the other rewards.May 24, 2019 17:48:38 GMT -6

Galamoth: Though we are still getting another update next Thursday, right?May 24, 2019 19:32:12 GMT -6

Arsenical: *drinks * the game i have been waiting for such a long time is only a few weeks away from me. i am so excited. im sure other peoples here share that excitement so lets read the new threads. . . . . . . oh.May 24, 2019 21:14:53 GMT -6

Arsenical: meh! who cares! i will still enjoy the shiz out of this game and my name will be on the credits. not only that but now i will be able to enjoy full content even if i lose my backer edition so yeah either way i win. *drinks more *May 24, 2019 21:19:43 GMT -6

Arsenical: but am i the only one who thinks that the idea of the steelcases was terrible? why get 3rd party items involved in your project? people is greedy and will whine about it if they dont get it for free! or did i miss something here?May 24, 2019 21:22:37 GMT -6

roguedragon05: Does anyone know if Bloodstained will be at E3 at all this year?May 24, 2019 21:58:44 GMT -6

Aztec: Thanks @purifyweirdshard for the answers. I’m bummed about no Kojima art. That would’ve made for some excellent PR before the game came out. I wish they could show it off even if they physical prints were shipping later but oh wellMay 24, 2019 23:57:01 GMT -6
